Windows Server 2003 reporting wrong free disk space information

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have a Windows 2003 server and I have a F: drive that is reporting
incorrect free space. In My computer, it shows 68 GB capacity and only about
200Mb free.

If I select all the folders on that drive and go to Properties, it only
shows 54GB used up. I ran chkdsk and here's what I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>chkdsk f:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Data.

WARNING! F parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.

66072 KB available on disk.

4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
17920499 total allocation units on disk.
16518 allocation units available on disk.

I ran it with the /F option but I haven't rebooted my server for it to run.

1. I ran Disk cleanup to get rid of temp files, trash, etc.
2. Disk Quota is not turned on
3. I read the article on Microsoft's site
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303079
but it didn't help me understand what's happening on the server
